Apparently if Pence has it too, and both he and The Orange bungle**** have to isolate for 14-days quarantine, it's possible that Pelosi – as Leader of the House – might need to take over in some capacity.

Maybe she could nominate a different Supreme Court Judge...

"Article II of the Constitution grants Congress the right to “provide for the Case of Removal, Death, Resignation or Inability, both of the President and Vice President, declaring what Officer shall then act as President” — and the 1947 act is the current result. Under its rules, the speaker of the House and the president pro tempore of the Senate would be next in the line of succession, followed by the members of the Cabinet, beginning with the secretary of state.

Until 1947, succession had passed through the Cabinet. Congress added the speaker and president pro tem on the grounds that the president should desirably be an elected official, even if not part of the executive branch. This might make sense in theory, but it could be truly terrible in practice. Should both Pence and Trump be unable to serve, Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D.-Calif.) would become president under the act — handing the White House to a different party without an election. Should she be unable or unwilling to serve, then the office would go to Sen. Charles E. Grassley (R-Iowa)."

Right, so how do all the MAGA/Qanon/Covid conspiracy types explain this one?

Even if she did, they wouldn't get voted in by the Senate where GOP have a majority. However, it would have the effect of postponing any appointment until after the election.

the deep state (NSA/CIA/FBI/DFS), who are behind the hoax, have fixed a false positive to take him out of the election. they'll make him ill through injection of some normal virus (say Flu) so he drops out.

:moo:

Assuming they pull through they'll simply use it to show its mostly harmless, like they've said all along and the restrictions are pointless and we should all get on with our lives.

Brighton factually.....

Until an unhinged president doomed in the polls for failure, decides to rush through his nomination for a new supreme court judge who will help him change laws allowing a results to be overturned, discounted or even a dictatorship......

Nah, that would never happen
